How do I keep the development web server (Cassini) running in Visual Studio 2008?

Question

I\'m using Visual Studio 2008 to develop ASP.NET applications. Currently I\'m debugging with running on IIS. I would like to switch to the development web server (Cassini) f

Answer 1

I have 3 web sites, with Single sign on between each site so I need to start all 3 with attach to process. However, there was no process to attach the debugger to, and whenever I started a project with F5 then stop it, the visual studio web server closed.

The Enable Edit and Continue option didn't change anything.

So to start the web server and keep it running so that you can attach the web project to the process, I simply did a "view in Browser" (ctrl+shift+W). This started the server process but not the project nor the debugger. I could then attach to process easily.
